Ralf Moeller

Star of the Television series, Conan: The Adventurer (1998) (TV), and a featured performer in such blockbuster films as The Scorpion King (2002) and Gladiator (2000), Ralf Moeller is renowned for his powerful physique and rugged good looks. That's to be expected of a former Mr. Universe, who was also the German Bodybuilding Champion of the International Federation of Body Builders, a champion boxer and worked as a professional swimmer for seven years. In a major departure from his action-oriented dramatic roles, Ralf has signed on as a featured player in Michael Parness' Indie comedy _Max and Grace (2003)_. He plays the role of Bruno, a suicidal patient in a psychiatric ward. Ralf's performance in Ridley Scott's Oscar- winning epic, "Gladiator", gained international acclaim. His sympathetic characterization of Hagen, who gave his life to enable Maximus (Russell Crow) escape from Commodus' Praetorian Guards, propelled his motion picture career forward rapidly. He went on to a featured role in The Scorpion King, and recently completed work on _Padrino, El (2003)_, co-starring Faye Dunaway, Jennifer Tilly and Stacey Keach. He made his English-speaking debut in Cyborg (1989). Quickly, he earned roles in such films as Universal Soldier (1992), Batman & Robin (1997), and the family film, Ozzie (2001). Also he starred in The Viking Sagas (1995). Ralf's starring roles on television include Conan: The Adventurer, the action-packed series that continued the story of John Millius' fantasy adventure film, Conan The Barbarian. Ralf, who was born in Recklinghausen, Germany lives in Los Angeles with his wife and daughter. He leads an active, healthy lifestyle and is a strong proponent of fitness and good nutrition. When he's not on location, he enjoys motorcycle riding, scuba diving, tennis and horseback riding.
